Everything Kitaaby Offers

From home pickup to donor badges — explore every feature that makes donating books simple, rewarding, and impactful.

Why Donate Your Books?

Four reasons your books deserve more than the bin

🌱

Sadaqah Jariyah

Every book you donate spreads knowledge to families who cannot afford books — an ongoing charity that keeps rewarding you.

🌍

Save the Environment

80 million books are thrown away yearly in Saudi Arabia. Reusing books saves CO₂ and keeps them out of landfills.

🎁

First Pickup is Free

New donors get their first pickup at no cost. We come to your door anywhere in Riyadh — no effort needed.

📊

Track Your Impact

See exactly how many books you donated, how many readers received them, and how many families you helped — on your impact page.

What Happens to Your Books After Collection

Every book is inspected at our warehouse and routed to its best possible destination — nothing is wasted

Inspection & Grading

When your books arrive at our Riyadh warehouse, our team inspects each one for physical condition, readability, and market value. Based on this assessment, each book is routed to one of two paths:

Good Condition → Listed on Store

Books that are readable and in acceptable condition are cleaned, graded, photographed, and listed on our store.

Inspected, graded, and photographed at the warehouse
Listed on the store as free giveaway or priced for rare/valuable titles
Ordered by a reader and delivered to a new home — your Sadaqah Jariyah continues

Damaged or Unreadable → Responsible Recycling

Books that are water-damaged, moldy, structurally damaged, or otherwise unreadable are handed to our charitable recycling partners for paper recovery — never sent to landfill.

Sorted separately and handed to charitable recycling organizations
Bindings removed and pages processed through responsible paper pulping
Paper recovered and transformed into new paper products — circular economy in action

Zero Books to Landfill — Our Promise

We never throw books away. Every book either finds a new reader or is responsibly recycled through our charitable partners. Nothing goes to waste.
